The first HDEO engine oil you bought?

[Kamele0N]

Technically sae30 mono qualifies as a HDEO.....so Texaco lawnmover sae30 oil (our company Petrol had rebranded Texaco oils in the past).

Nowadays....Rimula R6M 10W-40

 

[Snagglefoot]

Rotella T5 10w30 semi-synthetic for the lawn mover. Thirteen ounces at a time.

Rotella 15w40 for my OPE

 

[FCD]

Shell Rimula R4X 15w40

 

[jeepman3071]

Rotella T6 5w40 for one of my Jeep 4.0L's.

I recall the first HDEO I ever bought was Rotella 15w40 conventional or whatever. Dad said his first was DELO SAE 40

Rotella T 15W40 back in the mid 80's. Worked for a Shell Oil Jobber. At that time, Rotella sold more HDEO than all others combined. Doubt that is still the case today.

ESSO 30 grade "FleetGuard" IIRC

 

[tundraotto]

Delvac

 

[black thunder]

Farm Rated 10w30 - Fleet Farm brand

 

[arakele]

Rotella "T" 15w40. I don't believe they had the different levels of T back then, at least none that I saw.

 

[Creekside]

Rotella T3 15w40

 

[userfriendly]

1971... It was called Gulf Oil, Cat series 3 10w30 very dark in color. Silver & gold can. It went into a 69 Chev wagon with a 396 2V 265 hp engine.

 

[Red Crow]

I think it was Traveller 15w40 from tractor supply, about 13 years ago. It could've been Delo though.

 

[bbslider001]

Rotella 15w40 for my Detroit 6.5 extremely badass turbo diesel (NOT). It has been 7.3s after that with a Dmax and 5.9 Cummins thrown in the mix....

But yes, Rotella15w-40

 

[thejudges69]

My dad was RPM, still have some of the old oil cans. They it's always been chevron.

 

[BeerCan]

All my first oil purchases were Gulf based

 

[SteveG4]

Delo 15w40 for my '87 Ford F-350 XLT Lariat with the battleship International 6.9L diesel. It was a monster... and I loved that slow hulk with its 4.10 RE.

I plugged it in when it got cold in 90's Alaskan winters. Back then, that was most of the time.

It looked much like this one:

Miss the old girl. It came from a time when trucks were trucks.

 

[naterbomb]

I think it was Coastal fleet 15w40. I had an 83 F250 with a 6.9 IDI that I got off my dad when I was 15 and he use to use that oil in that truck, and I think that was what I used for a while. I probably had bought Delo 15w40 or Rotella 15w40 for the tractor or equipment before that somewhere along the line.

Q8 T760 10w30 was the first HDEO i filled at my workshop on my gassers, we switched oil to ExxonMobil 10w30 HDEO not too long ago.

 

[ruSSrt]

Delvac 1300 15w40 for my first diesel 01 cummins. Would use the same in my 05 VW Passat TDI if I could. But buying Rotella t6 for that one.
